8:06 pm
moscow that swell. the syrian national coalition seemed willing to speak with the current syrian government citing the fact that the whole reason that the national coalition exists in the first place is because they had previously refused to talk to president assad however sergey lavrov did err on the side of caution saying that there was no guarantees that this dialogue would take place bringing up the point that the coalition is so frank amended they can hardly really agree with themselves never mind sit down to open the gate see ations with the current syrian government syria featured very highly in the address that was given by sergey lavrov to the the security conference he also told directly to russia's western partners as called for unity and trying to bring in an end to the violence and bring discussion to the forefront rather than talk of international intervention he did however raise
8:07 pm
a few questions towards russia's western partners suggesting there was it worth while pursuing their mantra of regime change in countries like syria at the expense of terrorist acts being cast a blind eye to as those acts take place against the civilian population and the the syrian army we also saw around two thousand people gather elsewhere in munich in protest against what they say is they just continuing growth across europe that was relatively peaceful but it was also a topic that had been touched on bicycle for all of in his address where he said that there was no real need for nato to expand in the way that it was in those two thousand or so people in the city also voicing the similar opinion. the impactor patty from university of roehampton think syria's rebels have turned to diplomacy because they're exhausted from fighting assad's forces the rebel coalition is deeply divided within itself and it has tried very hard.
8:08 pm
to. dictate its own terms with the supposed of the united states and the syrian opposition coalition is insistent on not having talks with the russians but it has reached a point where it is tired frustrated and knows that it is very difficult to dislodge the assad regime it is something of a diplomatic victory in my view for the russians who have been at least publicly consistently. pressing for docs and so far the russian the russian requests for. diplomacy have been rebuffed. human rights activists having he's the french back in mali an army of committing revenge attacks extrajudicial killings and torture the u.n.

boyko reports on why u.k. officials are seeking to sell you their own country's reputation. as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long and in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania and from bol garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people used to use that sort of as quite farcical the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's
8:12 pm
been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but for remain ians and for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking at the same time but quite scathing about the country westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. or mania newspaper meanwhile

thanks for staying with us here on our team u.s. forces in afghanistan may have been running on iranian oil in clear violation of washington's old fuel embargo against the islamic state the pentagon admits it can't vouch for the source of a year's worth of fuel to a complicated supply system or he's got it has more. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials especially spoke to general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it most probably did come from the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own sanctions thereby letting us taxpayer dollars go to the remaining coffers the sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s.

8:17 pm
iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and qataris so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system so to many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else. sanctions violations in a rhetoric surrounding iran all proving great creative fuel for our web site cartoon is ahmadinejad and other themes online at r.t. dot com has exclusive comics section check that out an extreme leftist organization has claimed responsibility for the suicide attack on the us embassy in turkey's capital the group condemns u.s. foreign policy and its influence on turkish politics
